Down Under Tour 2012

Righto, I can finally reveal the details for the A/NZ Down Under Tour. Most of the days will be taken up visiting schools, so I'm only listing the public events which will occur in the evenings and at the weekends.

For the public signings, all you have to do is turn up and I'll sign as much as possible in the time I have- but for the public events, it might be a good idea to contact the bookshop/library/whatever as soon as possible, in order to book a place.

The Ireland and UK details will be posted when I have them.

Oh, and for those of you who entered the little short story competition on the Skulduggery website, I've just read through the finalists (30 of them) and the winners will be announced before the weekend. Some truly great work in there...

anyways... I'm almost done with my second book! YAYYYY! And I'm going to be in Ireland soon after! YAYYYY! This life just keeps getting better and better...

Oh, and by the way, I love the way you release the first chapter, but I just can't help but feel that it only adds to the suspense of waiting for the newest book. It's a bittersweet read. But I love it! Fabulous, absolutely fabulous.

-Molly, compiled happiness caousing her to dance around the room to the newest Avett Bros. song. What.

Yay! I hope I win, I probably won't though, I'd say Derek would probably have laughed his head off at my terrible writing skills..... :( Ah, well, if your not in, you can't win. Can't wait to find out the Ireland details, hopefully I'll be seeing you in Drogheda soon! :D Yay! xx

HI DEREK!!Guess where I am just back from... PARIS!! On a school trip and it was epic!!Went to Disneyland and Met Gepetto, Mad Hatter AND Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee!! You jelly?? Of course you arent you could go anytime you want, maybe take your nieces for the weekend!! How cool would that be!! They would love you so much more than their own parents!! :PAlso, read chapter 1 of book 7!! SOO good!! And funny!! Didnt comment sooner even though I seen it on whatever night it was put up. It was BRILLIANT!! I still love Fletcher he is mine!! No one can take him from me, not even you Derek! Sorry but it's true! There's a FanFic and everything...Yeah, I'm gonna shut up now.

NJ! I'm going to DisneyLand Next year. Of course, I'll be 15.... But you're NEVER EVER EVER too old for Disney. Never. I still cry at the Lion King. :'( (But yet I sat and laughed my head off at Paranormal Activity....) :P ;)

I know!! DISNEY IS TOO AWESOME!!I remember I went when I was 6 (I'm 15 now actually), and I was to small to go on any of the good rides!! But that was made up for Yesterday!!And I arrived home there at 6 but it's okay because I got loads of Photos. Maybe I'll put them up on my blog... But no one will want to see my French trip photos would they??

I want to see Disney again! All my photos got lost cus someone stole our camera, and I haven't been since I was 6 too. And I had my 7th Birthday there, with Mickey and Minnie! :'( It was awesome, and now I don't even have any photos. They should make a Disney in every country. Especially Ireland. :P

I'm very 'Country-Irish'. I'm not a farmer, or anything, but I live in the country and have some animals. Two donkeys, two sheep and 30 chickens. And getting 3 pigs. And had an allotments. And I live on Horse Back ( See my picture<<<<) Okay, maybe yes I'm a farmer, hehe :P But I love the country <3 <3 :)

Kinda but not really. I don't like Valkyrie Cain in the books. (especially book 6). Just my opinion. I love Fletcher. FanFic and everything about that :P Also a little short fic where he helps out China, who is- in my opinion- completely awesome and brilliant and fantastic.

My ALL-TIME Fave Character is probably Tanith. I literally cried when she wasn't in the books after MC. And that was only ONE BOOK. So, she'd better come back. But If SP Ever became a film, I'd audition for Valkyrie. :) But the books are ALWAYS Better than the films. Especially HARRY POTTER. *Hold sign that points at me saying *HUGE POTTER HEAD RIGHT HERE!!!!* :D I love Harry Potter.... <3

I LOVE TANITH!! I cried for her!! I also love Ghastly!! He is awesome!!SPEAKING OF GHASTLY MY TWITTER TREND IS GOING TO BE USED FOR HIS BIRTHDAY!!#GhastlyBespokeMasterTailor TREND IT!! PLEASE!! If you have twitter that is!!

Yeah!! It really is!! I love my Fletcher! Fletcher Renn will forever be a babe to me!! I will forever adore him!! Whoever is cast to be him in the movies I will date and Marry! You can be sure of that!!

Awesome! Derek you know I was thinking about Skullduggery's child, I think it should be a GIRL called Bryga (pronounced Bree-gah) and you should totally read my FanFic Betrayal to get some awesome Ideas :P

Disneyland was awesome. I went...maybe 4-5 years ago. Universal Studios is great too. (I went to Florida). Except for the heat stroke of course. But hey, you can't have it all. The Tower of Terror was awesome. The movie of it was pretty good too. The only two rides that I really REALLY didn't like was the Small, Small world and the Lilo and Stitch one. And then they flash bomb you in the dinosaur ride.

Universal is all around awesome. There's the Poseidon Run, The Mummy, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter.

Also, after going to those two theme parks, Canada's Wonderland sucks. I used to think that it was the greatest theme park ever. Of all time. (It was the biggest and best theme park I had been to up at that point). Even with the BEHEMOTH it has been rendered obsolete. And you can't go year round. (Everything's outside, and riding roller coasters outside in a blizzard does not sound fun).

Sorry I was sorting out stuff there. Also I have to go. I need to get to bed I have school tomorrow. I have CA can you believe that I have CA's 2 days before my Summer holidays!! What is my school playing at?!?!

I also want to go to Australia. But I'd probably die there. If the heat doesn't kill me, something else will. The only dangerous things we have here in Canada are moose, bears, and possibly rattlesnakes somewhere very far from where I live. I'd want to pet everything.

And I swoop in, like a sudden windstorm at a kindergarten picnic! By the way, you coming to the U.S. (Because there's more than one America) is a fantastic idea! Think of the Derek-starved minions, we could take you to see amazing sights like the world's largest ball of twine!

How is it possible that you manage to be IN SYDNEY. But IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. At. The. Same. Time. TT_TT (There's not even a train station for Leichhardt... It's piggybacking off Petersham... And Mosman? Really? MOSMAN? Asdfwhy. Sadfais.)

Well I just got to read this. Dang, Derek you seriously will be busy...oh and guess what? I was shopping at the mall. The guy at Barnes & Nobles actually knew who you were! I was trying to get The Faceless Ones and he got it ordered! Poor guy hasnt finished DB...told me where he was. Just at the Ball. So in conclusion, I got the book ordered and met a fellow Ameriminion.

Derek around uh...3pmish I wanna tell you something Celine is like tying me to a chair forcing me to write. Thats like 10am my time and i cant remember what is was and mu phone too far to reach. But it was like....yeah just look about 3pm ill post it.
